Review: Creed II

Michael B. Jordan stars in MGM and Warner Bros. Pictures' CREED II

There were a ton of questions surrounding Creed II. That’s primarily because Ryan Coogler was able to direct or write due to his work on Black Panther.

What you found more frequently then were movies that were dependent on performances and stories above anything else. This allowed those films to create a sense of intimacy that could reach an audience …

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY POSTER

Queen was known as a group who took chances with their music while never wanting to be defined by just one thing. That and the impact they had on the music industry during their time together is enough to see why people would want to turn their story into a movie. Of course, it would take quality storytelling in order …
